Film Review:

Film review words:

Black and white comes back into fashion with an almighty bang, directing team of Alex Coles and Thomas Redding has created an inspired film about a boy and his struggle to come to terms with his recently developed mental illness. Throughout the film we see a boys reality come crashing down on him as the past few days he has been living turn out to be a lie. The film gives a clear depiction of the symptoms with subtle hints embedded throughout. The film shows Edgar having to put up with a series of stressful situations, he has no mother, his farther has become distant and his brother Ronnie has become unimaginably present in his everyday life.  

Edgar and Ronnie are both your typical adolescents going through a standard couple of days at school and life at home. They share a best friend in Derek and go to all the same lessons, it’s like they are almost the same person. This eventually gets to pair when they have a heated argument in the boys toilets.  

With this new found rage Edgar rushes home but as he waits alone he realises Ronnie is missing, he nervously waits for his dad to return. Upon his dad’s return he confronts him with the problem, however what at first seemed like reality may not be as real as Edgar thought. In panic he runs to his room where life itself comes crashing down him as he relives the past few days with a vital element of his life missing and no sign of Ronnie, the film comes hurtling to an end with a bold crash zoom. The zoom itself exposes the powerful message that it is uncontrollable when mental health illnesses can strike but it is clear how to spot the symptoms.

The film shows simple yet effects shots from a variety of angles to ensure audience desire to watch on. The film itself has many references to the style of French New Wave, in particular the work of filming legend Jean-Luc Godard. The film also has characteristics from the dogma 95 another bold style of filming.
